Hunk of Meat Monday: Ravioli Lasagna

I am lucky enough to not be coming up with my own kitchen ideas for a week or two as I review a new cookbook from Gooseberry Patch. And the first recipe was not a disappointment. It is going to become a regular weeknight meat in this house! I am pretty sure you will love this Ravioli Lasagna since it only has five ingredients too.

The new cookbook I am reviewing is 101 Cozy Casseroles. It has a ton of great recipes that are going to become staples for weeknight meals in my house.

The ravioli lasagna was quick and easy to make since I had browned up several pounds of ground beef and pork in the crock pot earlier in the week. The recipe is super easy.

I warmed up the ground meat to make sure it didn’t impact the baking time. Then got the rest of my ingredients together.

Then began the process of making the casserole by putting 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of an 11 x 7 greased baking dish followed by half of the frozen raviolis.

Then layer half of the browned meat and onions and half of the shredded mozzarella.

Then repeat the cup of sauce and remaining raviolis and beef. Then cover with the remaining spaghetti sauce.

Bake for 30 minutes on 425 degrees. Pull out of the oven and add the remaining cheese and bake for five more minutes or until cheese is completely melted.

When you pull this finished casserole out of the oven you will want to tear into it immediately. It looks amazing.

This is a kid friendly casserole that is a nice change up from traditional lasagna or even baked spaghetti.
